Mostly it's #000000 on #828282 (light gray).
When things get downvoted (like your post was, for some reason), they become gradually more gray on gray, which is hardly accessible for everyone.
- c22 4y agoI think hn's display of downvoted posts intentionally degrades accessibility in an effort to discourage further interaction.
- wahnfrieden 4y agoYes but it also violates accessibility for OP text posts for other reasons
- sshine 4y agoYes, the intent makes perfect sense. Less popular => less viewable is good UX. But gray on gray does not degrade equally for all. Some won't be able to see any of it, and others will have text readers that don't censor based on grayscale.
